Indutherm VC 500 Series: Precision Vacuum Casting The Indutherm VC 500 series is a versatile range of vacuum pressure casting machines designed for everything from boutique studios to high-capacity industrial manufacturers. Available in semi-automatic and fully automatic configurations, these systems leverage advanced thermodynamics and pressure management to deliver perfect casting results. Production Efficiency & Throughput Overlapping Casting: Separate locking mechanisms for the melting and cuvette chambers allow you to melt the next batch while the previous cuvette is still under vacuum, significantly increasing daily output. Automatic Handling: Systems feature an automatic cuvette lift that docks and raises the flask, allowing the use of cost-effective cuvettes without flanges. Digital Control: Store up to 100 casting programs. Pre-set parameters for industry-standard alloys (like Legor, Pandor, and Heraeus) ensure success from the very first flask. Pressure & Atmosphere Management Controlling the environment is critical to preventing defects. The VC 500 series manages pressure with precision: Turbo Pressure PLUS: Achieves a rapid pressure build-up during the pour, essential for small, delicate objects or jewelry with embedded stones. HSC (High Speed Casting): Improves surface quality on large, smooth areas and allows for casting at lower temperatures to protect colored gemstones. Turbulence Reduction Software (TRS): Ensures a consistent metal flow that prevents the plaster mold from breaking and entering the melt. Metallurgical Excellence via Vibration The integrated Indutherm Vibration System physically shakes the molten metal at specific frequencies during solidification to improve the internal structure: Feature Direct Benefit 50% Smaller Grain Size (Optional Attachment) Higher material density and improved elastic properties. Reduced Porosity Improved strength, and more consistent, high-quality results. Temperature Control Thermocouple reduces shrinkage porosity. Vacuum and Overpressure Reduces gas porosity. This model offers 20 temperature control programs.
